: What you are experiencing may have nothing to do with circulation, especially given your young age. I would see a family physician in person for a full examination.

Self-diagnosis of 'poor circulation' is probably incorrect and not related to the surgery itself. If you have any symptoms it is best to see your MD for a thoro exam. Good luck
